If its matt black, as it looks, then could it be an aftermarket replacement ? My Pre EB ray of this age has a gloss black plate. Theres a nice bass though and 2 necks make it really versatile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matski Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I think all the pre-EB Music Man basses had gloss scratchplates. But don't quote me on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-soar Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Sorry to hijack bassvid 75s thread but that scratch plate is a modern one, you can tell by the cut out by the neck for access to the Ernie Ball truss rod adjustment wheel. Also the brass nut on the fretted neck is not original, neither is the mix of necks and body, 3 different years do not make a 100% original instrument.

The body was made in '97 and the neck in '98. Fishy? No. The date on the neck heel is 1-19-98 and the date stamp in the neck pocket is Dec 16 1997. So although it looks like there is something's fishy if you just quote the years, in reality both components were made a few days apart.
